    Some highlights vs. BIND 8.2.2:
    
            Bug in named-xfer (from patchlevel 4).
            Portability to IPv6 versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD.
            Portability improvements (A/UX, AIX, IRIX, NetBSD, SCO, MPE/IX, NT).
            "also-notify" option could cause memory allocation errors.
            IXFR improvements (though client-side is still disabled).
            Contributed software upgraded (including TIS's "dns_signer").
            Several latent denial-of-service bugs fixed (from audits, not abuse).
            New "make noesw" top-level target for removing encumbered components.
